Resizeable rows and columns by mouse in Calc

This animation explains this new feature perfectly:

SSL termination support for reverse proxies

The SSL termination option in the config file enables integration of CODE with SSL termination proxies, which handle incoming SSL connections, decrypt the SSL and pass on the unencrypted request to the server.

Full Collaborative Editing preview

We are making great progress here. During the LibreOffice conference 2016 the first live demo of our current development was shown to the public. This feature has not been published yet in CODE – it is still in beta -, but you can work collaboratively with shared editing.

We have updated our LibreOffice growth infographic (previous versions: 2014 & 2015), recollecting the most interesting LibreOffice figures and visualizing them in an easy to read and share infographic.

The number of LibreOffice users has grown significantly last year, to 120 million active users (20 million new users in one year), and we’ve doubled the number of countries with commercial support (from 21 to 42).

In total there were 21941 commits (based on commits in the last year: between 5.0 and 5.2), against 20026 commits last year. And we added to the infographic: the Coverity Scan Score. At the time of making of this infographic, LibreOffice had the perfect 0.00 score!

Collabora Productivity attended the LibreOffice Conference 2016 and it was amazing. The event was held in Brno. This easy to reach city is a technological hub in the Czech Republic and it boosts many tech companies, such as RedHat. In order to show our support for the LibreOffice project and for this event, we became one of the Main Sponsors. (more…)
